Deviled eggs have probably been around since the dawn of time, and deviled eggs with bacon were probably close behind. I know we’ve been making deviled eggs for years. My son loves them and actually claims them as one of his favorite foods.

Ok, so maybe deviled eggs haven’t been around since the dawn of time, but they have been around for a really long time. I was curious, so I did some research.

The modern day deviled eggs that we know and love actually originated in Ancient Rome. How cool is that?!

Even though the eggs weren’t prepared exactly the same way, they were boiled, filled with a spicy filling, and served as an appetizer of sorts. Sounds pretty similar to me!

While deviled eggs as we know them make a great appetizer, they can be a bit time consuming. Boiling the water, waiting for the eggs to cook, letting the eggs cool, peeling the eggs, you get the picture.

After I figured out how to make “boiled eggs” in the Instant Pot, deviled eggs were next on the list. Then naturally, deviled eggs with bacon followed.

These were incredibly easy to make, and in all seriousness, I think it took the bacon longer to cook than the eggs.

I even found a great way to peel the eggs that reduces mess and makes peeling a cinch! You may already know about it, but I’ve listed it in the tips below just in case. Don’t forget to check it out before you leave!

How to Make Deviled Eggs with Bacon:

Start by placing 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and then add the trivet. We purchased a stackable trivet used specifically for eggs (I’ll leave the link below). Add 6 large eggs to the trivet, and close the lid.

Turn the Instant Pot to high pressure (pressure cook/manual) for 5 minutes. Then allow a natural release for 5 minutes followed by a quick release.

Remove the eggs from the Instant Pot, and place them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

After the eggs have cooled, remove the shells. Carefully, cut the eggs in half longways and remove the yolks. Place the yolks into a separate small bow.

Add half the bacon, onions, pickles, mustard, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise to the yolks. Use a fork, potato masher, or food processor to mix the filling.

Take a spoon or piping bag and place a bit of the filling into each of the halved egg whites. Garnish with the remaining bacon and chives.

You’ll Love Deviled Eggs with Bacon Because…

• They make a great appetizer, snack, or the perfect addition to any potluck.
• You don’t have to babysit the eggs while they boil. The Instant Pot does all the work for you!
• They are simple to make!
• There’s no messy shells to deal with if you follow my tip below.
• Well, let’s be honest, there’s bacon!

Tips for Making the Perfect Deviled Eggs with Bacon:

• The Instant Pot method we used is similar to the 5-5-5 method (5 minutes for cooking, 5 minutes natural release, 5 minutes in an ice bath). Some Instant Pot users prefer the 6-6-6 or 7-7-7 method. Use whichever works best for YOU!
• Make peeling eggs easy by peeling them in a bowl of water. I like to use the same water as I used for the ice bath. Just hold the egg under water slightly to remove the shell. The shell comes off easier and sinks right to the bottom of the bowl! Plus, it doesn’t stick to your fingers.
• Add a spicy kick to these deviled eggs by adding hot sauce, jalapenos, or chiles. They are so versatile, you can change up the flavors to suit your tastes.
• For a smoother filling, leave out the bacon, and add it to the top after you’ve filled the eggs.

I promised I’d leave a link to the stackable trivet we use for our boiled eggs. There’s a clickable image below. Just look for the eggs on the trivet!
